In the shortest of terms, it states that you attract to you the things that you are in harmony with. Or you get what you think about. Of course, that is a double-edged sword, because every thought is technically two thoughts and you have to be careful which side you are on. For instance, there is lack and prosperity. You can want prosperity but be focused on lack. If all you have is lack, but want prosperity, but all you can think about is your lack.... you might think that you are focused on prosperity, but the reality is that you are focused on lack. Therefore, you are vibrating to lack and will continue to bring lack into your life. The law of attraction dictates that it is so. You get what you think about. When you are able to shift your thoughts to gratefulness and abundance, that is when the miracle happens. That is why Jesus says that when you pray to give thanks BEFORE you receive it and BELIEVE it like it has already happened. The law of attraction responds to that. That faith, that focus on the abundance brings it into your life. When you focus on lack, lack is what you get. When you focus on anything, that is what you get. <br /><br />Now, don't ask me why I haven't used this incredible wealth of knowledge to get rid of my migraines. I have TRIED. Not focusing on PAIN is the hardest thing to not focus on when it is constant. However, I am seeing a pain therapist who might have some tools her toolbox that I haven't tried yet. If she can divert me, I can focus somewhere else and who knows what might happen...<br /><br />You and me... we might change the world:-) After I get less crazy, of course.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-45320370409080429092012-05-11T13:17:39.565-06:002012-05-11T13:17:39.565-06:00wine women and song used to make me happy but now ...wine women and song used to make me happy but now a simple grand child hugging me will do very well thank you, and i am only 167 now in my life and it makes me happyPutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480109111920196513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-66947794607546098282012-05-11T10:19:38.896-06:002012-05-11T10:19:38.896-06:00I agree that thin won't make anyone happy if t...I agree that thin won't make anyone happy if they don't deal with their issues.

Just goes to show that there are many paths to the place you need to be and yet you will eventually get to where you belong. I truly believe that is possible for everyone. <br />I find myself spending a lot more time being grateful for the skills and talents that I have gained over the years and much less time worrying or thinking about how I got them. Doesn't matter. I just like who I am now and I am excited about where my life is headed.<br />Sounds like you are in a similar mindset. How wonderful. You deserve it.'Yellow Rose' Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496382898548158316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-7986257063437312312012-05-10T21:31:25.424-06:002012-05-10T21:31:25.424-06:00I just stumbled upon your blog.

Not because I don't have weight to lose, but because when I DO and it doesn't show me "magic numbers", it takes away all that I have done for my body and my mind and mostly for my recovery. It usually results in very poor eating. <br />You are in such a better place. I am so happy to see this. :-)Kelliannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585883189621171791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463655558550518858.post-58144677908745686002012-05-10T06:29:15.909-06:002012-05-10T06:29:15.909-06:00You have been working very hard, Chris, and it sou...You have been working very hard, Chris, and it sounds like it's paid off. What you have done recently is quite amazing. I agree with everything you have done and said--especially this: "The exterior is often a symptom of an interior issue." I think that goes for most of us. You've got your momentum going!!!E. Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079110676794095541noreply@blogger.com
